Pros:

its awesome and makes my skin super smoooottttthhhhh and redness has been reduced.

Cons:

haven't found any yet besides the oily look factor when you first put it on. I mix it with my face lotion and it works a lot better for me than just to apply it directly to my face alone.

I just want to say that I think its HILARIOUS that someone claims jojoba gave them pink eye! Pink eye is caused by getting poop in your eye.... literally some poop or some bacteria found in your poop. They should call it POOP EYE! Jojoba oil would not give you pink eye. hahahahahaha. Oh you guys, I love everyone :)

Pros:

Easy to use, softens skin, odorless, one bottle lasts a LONG time, also nice for hair.

Cons:

No cons.

Jojoba oil on its own is good for your skin in a general sense, but I haven't noticed any difference in my acne. It has been making dead skin fall off a lot faster though, and reduces redness a little bit. I like to add a few drops to my hair gel to make my hair extra soft and shiny. THE BEST THING that's worked for me is to COMBINE JOJOBA OIL WITH TEA TREE OIL. Take a cotton swab and pour a couple drops onto it. Wipe across face thoroughly. THEN, take another swab and pour a few drops of pure tea tree oil on it (Rexall makes it), and rub that across your face ontop of the jojoba oil. DO NOT GET IT IN YOUR EYES, they may water a little anyway but let them. It makes your skin feel absolutely amazing... nourished, clean, soft, tingly, wonderful. My skin gets really sore from acne but this just makes it feel absolutely nice. Also reduces redness and swelling. I am finally starting on Accutane tomorrow. I am pretty sure that is going to work better than Jojoba and Tea Tree

Pros:

It made my skin feel sooo soft and toned it out a little bit, also made my hair shiny, soft, and a little bit thicker!

Cons:

None yet.

I read alot of reviews on here and saw that it didnt work with some people. Why not? Its only been a couple weeks now that i have been using it, my YACK-NE(acne) has only improved a little bit. I hope i dont get a big bad break out,Like theys other people did. I dont want to have to cut the top layer of my face off. I hope in the long run this really works for me. Im so tired of looking. Other then that my face feels smoother and i got a nice healthy shine! It better keep up like this. Good luck 2 me and all of you out there using jojoba oil.

Pros:

a little goes a long way...
definitely moisturizes not just my face but everything, from face to hair to nails to the whole body.

Cons:

can be a little bit shiny if used too much

I use it along with tea tree oil. 2-3 drops of jojoba oil and 2 of tea tree oil. I found it to be a great combination. Along with other highly recommended items on this site, I believe that I've been staying clear.

Pros:

all natural, great for hair and body

Cons:

I didn't love this for my face

I have extremely dry skin and I've tried every moisturizer in the world for my face with out really loving any of them. I heard about jojoba oil thru acne.org and I tried it. I really wanted to love this but it just didn't work very well for me, didn't moisturize well enough. But I found an oil that works fantastic for me %100 pure SWEET ALMOND OIL. I use the NOW brand and it was only 4 dollars. I put about 6 or 7 drops in my palm after cleansing and patting my face dry but the skin is still a little moist, rub it in my hands and apply it gently to my face. This has made a HUGE difference in my skin, its supple, more even toned and looking more beautiful everyday, also this did not cause any breakouts, it fact I beleve its clearing up my skin. Jojoba oil was definently not a complete disappointment, I put a few drops of it in with my shampoo and body wash and my hair and body are so soft and nice.

Pros:

AMAZING!!! great for combination/oily/dry/normal skin types! its acnes worst nightmare!

Cons:

Nothing!

I love this stuff! i use jojoba oil with essential oils in it and it works fab. i will never buy any other skin products ever again! seriously just give it a try, try finding a little more expensive jojoba oil, because they do put other essential oils in it, that will benefit your face!!

Pros:

it moisturizes the skin.

Cons:

it can cause some serious breakouts.

I wouldn't suggest it if you are planning on ONLY using Jojoba oil. It will work well if used in conjunction with something like Neutrogena On-The-Spot or Proactiv Repairing Lotion. Not Alone!

Pros:

Moisturizes well...

Cons:

I got a bunch of little white bumps coming to the surface within minutes of putting this on my forehead..

I was really excited to try this after reading all the great reviews, but I'm really unsure right now. I washed my face with it and then noticed my really dewy complexion. I loved it and I put another drop on my face as a moisturizing, but then suddenly I noticed, minutes later, my forehead was breaking out into all these little milia-like bumps. I immediately washed it off with some Cetaphil and baking soda and now I'm way too scared to use it again.. I don't know what to do cause I'm really eager to try this product but I'm so scared at how my skin's gonna react overall. Could the oil be bringing the junk up to surface? Would my skin get better if I continue use? I am going nuts here and I think I'm gonna wear an aspirin mask until I decide to try to jojoba again...

Pros:

My skin has been looking more clear since I started using it a few months ago.

Cons:

None.

I use the oil after my nightly face wash. It seems to be helping my skin clear up. Also, it helps my skin not be so dry (my face tends to get dry).

Pros:

reduces scars
great moisturizer
even tone
simple, effective and organic

Cons:

if applied wrong, it can make face look to waxy or shiny

Morning: -gentle lavender face wash in shower wait 5-10 minutes -acv toner (30% vinegar - 70% water) with 2 sprays of rosewater on cotton ball wait 10 minutes - gently rub 5 drops of jojoba oil Night: -gently rub 5 drops of jojoba oil before bed (optional: wash before if you want, i suggest keeping it all simple) keep in mind, many factors contribute to acne. For me one of them was that it was the water used in the house I just moved into. It was "hard" meaning it was filled with chlorine and other solvents that can disturb the skin. I installed a water softener on the shower head making the water soft and have seen drastic results. The routine above has saved my skin from all the years of damage through trial and error. If you can't eat it, don't put it on your face. Be as simple as possible. You don twant to spend 50 minutes of your day treating acne.. It can take a terrible toll on your social life being such a perfectionist.. Quit masterbating, excersize and eat how a human should eat. you will develop a powerful attitude essential to overcoming acne once you free yourself from today's bs...Go to bed early. Dont touch your face. Simple. If you develop cysts, every 2-3 days gently rub baking soda in the shower on the area. Don't overdo anything. Don't rub too hard. Be very gentle and patient. My acne has been improving.. Currently recovering from mistakes a few weeks ago. But its getting better. Jojoba oil is definitly, when used correctly, an amazing thing. Research it. Most dermatologists don't know anything. If you can find a good one that doesn't resort to accutane brochures, go for it. as for price. I get mine for free. All you have to do is go to whole foods or trader joes, grab a bottle and walk out the door.
